heredity

The inherited combinations of alleles is known as the offspring’s _____________.

genotype

_____________________used plants to study the way traits are passed from parents to offspring.

Mendel

If two first-generation self-pollinating plants are crossed, Pp and Pp, what is the probability that offspring plants will show the dominant trait? Create Punnett Square

3/4

Self-pollinating

The organism’s appearance is known as its ____________________ .

phenotype

What did Mendel remove from a plant so that it could NOT self-pollinate?

anthers

The trait that always appears in the first-generation offspring is the ___________.

Dominate trait

In _____________________ the anthers of one plant are removed so that the plant cannot self-pollinate.

Cross-pollination

Recessive trait

True or False? Alleles can be either dominant or recessive?

True
